      Cool. I am 41 as well, and I am going to tackle the fs flip the coming week. I watched this video for the first time today and I hope that it will be of some help! How did your fs flip turn out? :-)

    • @jasielcalixto
      @jasielcalixto 7 лет назад +1

      magnus soderbom I still haven't done it. I landed the the three flip at 42 but the fs flip turned out something almost impossible for me. If you wish, check the three flip saga on my channel. Good luck!

    • @fd_skate
      @fd_skate 7 лет назад +1

      ***** Cool, I will definitely check that out. I just landed my first 3 flip a couple of weeks ago. I recon that the 3 flip is actually easier than the fs flip. I also put out some content now and then, check it out if you have a boring moment in life. 😅

    Im going skating today and I'm landing my first frontside flip. The other day i decided to give it one good commited try and got pretty close and close after the next couple attempts. Just cant wrap my mind around the trick, but i think this video helped me a lot. I haven't skated in 2 days and I'm feeling that extra motivation today that usually gets me to land something new and to push my limits. This video helped a lot with that motivation too. Sorry for long post will come back with results. Confident i will land my first one today after years of envy.
    P.S i think you actually got that quote from me ;)

    John, best fs flip trick tip vid I've seen on youtube.
    Question... Your back foot looks square on the tail, but you said to put it in the left/right pocket. So should I square center and push outward like a front shove?

Never was able to stop hardfliping until I tried to put my front foot just under the nose as you described in your video. Switch it doesn’t happen to me, but regular it was kinda weird and not the way I wanna do fs flip... thx for that!
